XX-level Hokage

"Think it over carefully yourself, or I won't mind electing a new leader for the Revolutionary Army." After saying this, Mashiro turned and left, leaving behind the still calm and angry Ryu.

His figure gradually disappeared in the shadows of the prison cell, seemingly taking away all hope and faith.

Ryu's resolve remained unshaken. He knew the road ahead would be even more difficult, but he would never give up. Leaving the cell, Mashiro frowned slightly.

It seems that the Revolutionary Army cannot rely on Long for the time being and must find a backup candidate.

It seems I'll have to find out more about the Revolutionary Army's members. Walking the streets of Dressrosa.

All the civilians and the revolutionary army that came to their aid looked at Mashiro with great respect.

They also read the latest report from the World Economic Herald and learned about Mashiro's deeds. It can be said that at this time, Mashiro was definitely the most influential person in the world.

Just then, a cheerful voice reached Mashiro's ears.

Yes, yes, this is it. Let's define the area with lines first.

Mashiro stopped in her tracks and looked in the direction of the sound.

Within a broken wall, a beautiful young woman with orange hair, wearing a short dress, a small hat with goggles, and wearing a dress, stood...

The woman was directing a group of revolutionary soldiers dressed in gray to do various tasks.

The area suffered immense damage to buildings and houses due to the great battle between Dragon and Akainu. Sabo then contacted the Revolutionary Army, who had been waiting outside Dressrosa, to help rebuild the destroyed area.

Mashiro remembers that the person in charge of the reconstruction was a girl named Koala, which should be her.

At that moment, Koala, who had turned around, also noticed Mashiro. Smiling, she approached Mashiro and greeted her warmly, "It's a pleasure to meet you, sorcerer-sama. My name is Koala, and I'm roughly considered a cadre in the Revolutionary Army."

“It’s nice to meet you, Koala. Just call me Mashiro,” Mashiro replied with a smile.

She was always friendly to beautiful young girls. Name: Sabo

Gender: Male Age: 22

Affiliation: Revolutionary Army

Three types of Haki: Armament Haki, Observation Haki

Devil Fruit: None; Weapon: None

Height: 160cm; Luck Value: 60; Approval Rating: 35

Looking at the girl's information, Mashiro felt a little emotional.

160cm, a height that is quite normal in the world, is quite rare in this world.

That won't do. You and Lord Dragon are equal allies. If I don't use honorifics, Sabo will definitely complain about me later.

"Since you don't like the way I address you, then I'll call you Lady Mashiro." Koala said with a bright smile. "Of course, it doesn't matter what kind of title you use."

"But, Koala, I feel like I've heard your name somewhere before," Mashiro said softly.

You've heard my name? That must be a coincidence. I'm in charge of intelligence within the Revolutionary Army, specializing in espionage missions, so my name is rarely seen in the public eye. "Because of the importance and trust Dragon showed towards Mashiro, Koala had no intention of hiding anything from her."

"Perhaps I misheard. But, is Kera from Forsythe Island?" Mashiro asked softly, as if she had thought of something.

Upon hearing the name of Forsythe Island, Kera was immediately startled and said, "Lord Mashiro, how do you know the name of my hometown? Could it be that the Kera you've heard about is really me?"

"Since Koala-chan Mashiro was born on Forsythe Island, then there's no problem. As for why I know your name that I've heard about, actually..."

"Jinbe told me that before, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time," Qibai asked softly.

Upon hearing the name Jinbe, Koala froze instantly, and her expression became excited.

"Jinbe-sama?! Lord Mashiro, you actually know Jinbe-sama?! How is he? I've always wanted to visit him on Fish-Man Island, but because of my identity, I've never been able to go," Koala said excitedly.

"Not only do we know each other, but Tiger and I co-founded the Sun Pirates, the crew Jinbe was previously in, and I became the vice-captain of the Sun Pirates. However, for some reason, I left the Sun Pirates first," Mashiro said calmly.

Upon hearing the names "Sun Pirates" and "Tiger," Koala instantly calmed down, her expression filled with gratitude yet also sadness, and glistening tears welled up in her eyes.

Water also began to form in the eye sockets.

Chapter 178: Bear and Ginny (Part 1)

“I remember Tiger died around that time,” Mashiro continued.

Upon hearing this, Koala's expression immediately turned sad and tense, and she kept talking to Mashiro.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. It's all because of me. If it weren't for saving me, Lord Tiger wouldn't have..."

Koala is a resident of Forshat Island. After being captured by human traffickers, she became a slave of the Celestial Dragons. When she was 11 years old, she escaped with other slaves when Mashiro and Fisher Tiger caused a ruckus in Mary Geoise to liberate the slaves.

However, instead of boarding the two men's ship, Mary Geoise secretly left via a cargo ship in the port.

Three years after escaping Mary Geoise, Kella lived on a small island. Because Kella was too far from her home island of Forsythe, the islanders entrusted her to Fisher Tiger, who happened to be nearby, hoping he could take her back home.

Because of the long-term abuse she suffered at the hands of the Celestial Dragons, she can only greet everyone with a smile. Whenever she is subjected to malicious insults, pressure, or suddenly feels nervous and at a loss, she will subconsciously kneel down and wipe the floor.

After being scolded by Ah Long, Kerla was terrified and tore off her trouser leg to wipe the floor.

She kept pleading, "Please forgive me, I will work, I will clean without stopping, please don't hit me, I'm sorry," and "No matter what happens, I won't cry, please don't kill me."

Because Tiger promised the islanders he would send her back to her hometown, she became the only human in the Sun Pirates. After realizing that Tiger was different from the Celestial Dragons, she revealed her true feelings and gradually became more willing to get closer to the other members of the crew. The members of the Sun Pirates also liked her quite a bit (except for Arlong).

Fisher Tiger then kept Kerla behind, took her to his room, and used a branding iron to erase Kerla's slave mark.

Tiger deliberately obtained the Perpetual Pose from Koala's hometown, Forsythia Island, so Hachi, a member of the Sun Pirates, took her to get a haircut.

I tidied her up and bought her a new dress so she could look brand new.

After several weeks of sailing, Kera was sent back to her hometown village by Tiger.

Before leaving, she also said that she would tell the people of her hometown about the kindness of the fish people. However, after returning to her hometown, the villagers informed the navy without Kella's knowledge, which led to Fisher Tiger being besieged and ultimately indirectly killed.

This is also Kera's biggest nightmare. Even after joining the Revolutionary Army for so many years, she still often has nightmares, especially on Tiger's death anniversary.

Now, seeing Mashiro, the vice-captain of the Sun Pirates, everything from the past flooded Koala's mind once again without mercy. Before Koala could finish speaking, Mashiro pulled her into his arms.

There's no need to be sad or blame yourself. Tiger's death is indeed very regrettable, and the suffering people are truly infuriating, but none of this has anything to do with you.

Tiger trusted humans too much, and at that time, humans and fish-men had a deep misunderstanding. Even if it wasn't you, there would have been someone else. I told Tiger a long time ago that he would die at the hands of the human he loved most.

So don't blame yourself too much. I think Tiger will never hold a grudge against you in the end. As Mashiro spoke gently, Koala's tears fell continuously.

The words spoken to her by a member of the Sun Pirates lessened her guilt considerably, allowing her to confront her past for the first time.

[Kera's sense of identification +30] A moment later.

In a dessert shop in Dressrosa, Mashiro and Koala sat facing each other for two days.

"I never expected that our Revolutionary Army's ally would be Lord Mashiro. I'm so happy! I originally thought that sorcerers were the kind of people who were very ambitious and ruthless." Koala said with a smile, sipping her orange juice.

"Oh, why would Koala-chan think that?" Mashiro asked curiously.

"I'm a little embarrassed, but I'm the one who gathered the information about you, Lord Mashiro." Koala touched his hair somewhat awkwardly. "After all, what you did, Lord Mashiro, was too extraordinary. Defeating Lord Arlong was one thing, but easily defeating Vice Admiral Smoker and Crocodile was quite unusual."

It's safe to say that you, Lord Mashiro, are the fastest pirate to become a Shichibukai.

You then rebuilt Ohara, the land of scholars, liberated the legendary Skypiea, reached an agreement with Emperor Neptune of Fishman Island, and finally defeated Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, liberating Wano Country.

Scholar, Sky Islander, Fishman, Samurai.

"Connecting four completely different groups so quickly makes it hard not to suspect the motives behind it." "Kera is really clever." Mashiro's eyes lit up after hearing Kera's words, and she praised her.

"No, no, it's just that Sabo wasn't interested in these things, so Lord Dragon made me learn and take charge of them. Over time, I got used to thinking about problems from other perspectives."

"However, since the sorcerer is Lord Mashiro, then there's absolutely nothing to worry about," Koala said with a smile. Mashiro smiled but remained silent.

"By the way, Koala-chan, could you tell me about your Revolutionary Army? I asked Dragon before, but he had to leave early." Mashiro picked up her cup, took a sip of her coffee, and said.

As expected, I still don't like coffee. "This..."

After only a moment's hesitation, Koala nodded in agreement, "Of course, no problem, Mashiro-sama."

"The Revolutionary Army is an anti-government organization led by Lord Dragon, whose goal is to overthrow the unequal rule of the Dragon people who dominate the world government."

Formerly known as the Self-Defense Army, 21 years ago, Lord Long and Lord Embrio Ifankov led the Self-Defense Army to liberate the South Sea Solbe Kingdom and drive out the tyrannical King Bekoli.

After Bartholomew Kuma and Ginny joined, the Self-Defense Forces gradually transformed into the Revolutionary Army.

After its formal establishment, it gradually liberated dozens of tyrannical countries oppressed by the Celestial Dragons. It received high attention from the World Government and was considered the only organization capable of directly overthrowing the rule of the Celestial Dragons.

Eleven years ago, the revolutionary army arrived in the host country of Golan in the East China Sea.

In preparation for the arrival of the Celestial Dragons, the Goa Kingdom carried out a massive purge, burning down the undetermined destinations on the outskirts of the country, along with their inhabitants and the nation's waste.

The undetermined destination caused a massive fire, prompting the revolutionary army to organize the evacuation of the suffering residents and appeal to those who wished to obtain the truth.

Those who are truly free boarded the revolutionary army's ship.

When the Celestial Dragons officially arrived in the Goa Kingdom, Celestial Dragon Charmaco fired a sacred cannon at Sabo, who was about to set sail. Dragon, the commander-in-chief of the Revolutionary Army, rescued him and prepared to return to the Revolutionary Army headquarters in Baltigo. On the way back, they stopped at Shimotsuki Village in the East Blue for supplies.

Chapter 179: Bear and Ginny (Part 2)

Seven years ago, at the World Conference held in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, King Shunda Lucas of the Kingdom of Ilucia declared the danger posed by the Revolutionary Army and established its status as the world government's greatest enemy.

One year ago, after you, Lord Mashiro, defeated Shakuro, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Revolutionary Army learned of the news. At the same time, the Revolutionary Army's branch leader was assassinated by CP9, and a total of 23 Revolutionary Army fighters were killed.

In the same year, the revolutionary army arrived at the Kingdom of Techirawolf, the land of bridges, liberated the slaves who were forced to build the bridge, and ended the centuries-long bridge-building project of the Kingdom of Techirawolf.

And now, because of you, Lord Mashiro, Lord Dragon has sent Sabo, myself, Haku, and other members of the Revolutionary Army to the Kingdom of Dressrosa to join you, Lord Mashiro, in overthrowing Doflamingo's evil rule.

Seemingly aware that the Revolutionary Army had been mostly lying low all these years, especially when facing a "doer" like Mashiro, Koala became inexplicably embarrassed as she spoke.

After hearing Koala's words, Mashiro frowned slightly, feeling utterly sorry for him. The Revolutionary Army had done far less over the years than he had imagined.

Basically, they accomplished nothing. If there hadn't been a second organization rebelling against the World Government, Mashiro would have doubted whether the Revolutionary Army's title of "the greatest threat to the World Government" was truly undeserved.

"So, Koala-chan, besides Dragon, who is the second-in-command in the Revolutionary Army? I don't mean anything by it, I'm just a little curious. After all, people like Dragon and me are prone to accidents, so we usually appoint a second-in-command in advance," Mashiro said softly.

"As for the second-in-command, judging from the current situation, it should be that guy Sabo," Koala said after a moment's thought. "Sabo, isn't he a bit too young?" Mashiro asked softly.

"Hmph, there were originally three more candidates, but those three adults are no longer with the Revolutionary Army due to some unforeseen circumstances," Koala said with great regret.

"Those three lords are Lord Ambrio Ivankov, Lord Bartholomew Bear, and Lord Ginny. They all co-founded the Revolutionary Army with Lord Dragon and can be considered the true veterans of our Revolutionary Army."

"But Ginny passed away a long time ago, and Lord Kuma left the Revolutionary Army to become a pirate, even becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea who cooperated with the Navy. Lord Ivankov was also captured by the Navy a few years ago while covering for his other comrades and imprisoned in Impel Down, the underwater prison." Koala continued.

"Bartholomew Kuma, there is indeed a Shichibukai, and according to all my information, the Navy's latest weapon, the Pacifista, is designed based on him."

Revolutionary Army, pirates, Shichibukai, scientific research subjects—the cross-server competition is quite significant. "Shiro said meaningfully. Koala was very clever; she understood Shiro's implied meaning."

After hesitating for a moment, Kera finally spoke up: "According to what I heard from Lord Ivankov and Lord Dragon, it seems that Lord Bear left the Revolutionary Army because of Lady Ginny."

"Because of Ginny, it seems their relationship is more than just ordinary." Indeed, it's a long and sad story.

Ginny was the former commander of the Eastern Army of the Revolutionary Army. She became a slave of the Celestial Dragons when she was 4 years old, escaped during the God Valley incident when she was 13, and later spent a happy time with Bartholomew Kuma in the Sorbet Kingdom of the South Blue.
